Oh and this chapter is dedicated to my best friend Holly.

By the time it was February; regular flu season had already hit our little town of Milbridge. But there was more coming. There was an epidemic afoot. Almost half of the school was sick in the following weeks. We were not worried by the pandemic sweeping the nation. Being vampires, we didn't have to worry about diseases. Yet there was on thing we forgot.

Renesmee.

Renesmee had made a couple of new friends. Her closest was Holly. She came over to our house nearly everyday. Holly was a nice girl. At first when Holly started coming over, she was stunned by the undeniable beauty of our family, but she quickly became accustomed to us and was now that most talkative one in the house when she was around. Holly and Renesmee were a perfect match. Firstly, they both had slightly abnormal names. Holly's real name was Hallelujah. And Renesmee… well, she was Renesmee. Also, Holly was a faery. It was curse something like being a werewolf. She had retractable wings and could fly. Once both of their secrets were revealed, it was no trouble at all for the two to be around each other. Vampires and faeries had never been enemies. If anything, they were allies. Both were in exile from the world of mythical creatures. Faeries were immortal too. They, like werewolves, grew quickly for a few weeks and always looked about 16. They only started aging again when they didn't use their powers for a solid length of time. This meant that Ness and holly could literally be "friends forever".

But there was another thing that bonded the girls. Though they were bred from creatures of immortality, both were still susceptible to human diseases. Like they deadly flu that was sweeping New England. But none of us realized the girls could be in danger until it was too late. By the beginning of March, both girls had contracted the virus.

Sorry there wasn't any dialogue. I'm trying to set the stage for the next chapter.
